It’s widely believed that crystals, alongside having remarkable healing properties, can absorb negative energies that surround you. However, this also means that your crystals can get overwhelmed with these energies and must be purified or cleansed every so often.
Just like we need various elements of self-care to keep us balanced and healthy, crystals need regular treatment too – and there are a few ways in which you can do it.
So, here are seven simple ways to cleanse and purify your crystals.
WATER
Water is the obvious choice for cleansing your crystals – after all, we use it to cleanse ourselves, too!
However, we must stress that water works best with stones that are polished, and you should never submerge any rough or natural stones. Always be cautious when using water with your crystals; only place one in water if you’re certain it’s safe to do so, and for rough or delicate crystals it’s best to use other methods like smoke, which we’ll talk about later on.
ADVICE FOR CLEANSING CRYSTALS WITH WATER
Dip the crystals in a bowl of plain water, or hold under running water for a few moments
Never use salt water on crystals, as it can weaken the stone and dull its shine
If you intend on using crystals in the bath, dedicate a few polished stones like Rose Quartz to use knowing their shine will eventually fade
SUNLIGHT
Sunlight is a renowed crystal cleanser and is extremely powerful – but just like water, it doesn’t work for every type.
Similar to our skin, too much sunlight can cause a crystal to ‘sunburn’, and there are a few which will also fade when left out longer than a few minutes. Clear Quartz can even heat up in direct sunlight and start a fire if it’s left on a flammable material like paper or wood.
Crystals that we would not recommend leaving in sunlight for too long include:
Once again, we’d always recommend researching your crystal to see if it is safe to leave out in the sun.
MOONLIGHT
Because moonlight is so much softer than sunlight, any crystal, rough or polished, can be cleansed under the night sky.
Unsurprisingly, Moonstone is a powerful stone to cleanse by moonlight, and there’s a special nine-day period during the moon’s cycle where the moonlight to cleanse them is at its best: Waxing Gibbous (between a half-moon and full moon), Full Moon and waning Gibbous (rises later at night, when the lit-up part of the moon shrinks from 99.9% to 50.1%).
ADVICE FOR CLEANSING CRYSTALS WITH MOONLIGHT
Place your crystals outside on a table or near a window that’s under the moonlight
Bathe them under the moonlight for a few hours
Ensure your crystals are in a place where they will remain dry
STARLIGHT
When it comes to light cleansing, sunlight and moonlight are the obvious choices. However, the energy from stars, galaxies and other celestial bodies are said to offer hugely powerful crystal cleansing properties.
Naturally, stones closely associated with the night sky such as Moonstone, Meteorite or Moldavite allegedly bring you closer to the cosmos, and cleansing your crystals using celestial energy is a technique that goes hand in hand with guided meditation.
SOUND
Sound, when created with intention, is said to wash over your crystals and help release old and negative energy.
It’s claimed that playing an instrument to your crystals helps to cleanse them, and this can easily be a ritual you can enjoy in the process. Alternatively, you can use sound from a singing bowl, a tuning fork, or a chime – even your own voice chanting a prayer or mantra is said to work just as well.
SMOKE
One of the most common and most popular techniques for cleansing crystals is smudging them with smoke from sage, herbs or incense. It’s a favoured technique by many, as you can perform it at any time of day in any kind of weather.
However, purifying your crystals with smoke requires a bit of forward planning.
ADVICE FOR CLEANSING CRYSTALS WITH SMOKE
Open any windows and use a fireproof container to catch burning ash
First, cleanse yourself and the room with the incense before moving on to your crystals
To purify the crystal, either move it through the smoke or use a feather, a fan or your hand to direct the smoke towards it
Visualise the smoke evaporating any negative energy you want it to release, which sets the intention for your cleansing ritual and states that you want the crystal to be refreshed and ready to work with
OTHER CRYSTALS
Did you know that crystals are said to be able to cleanse other crystals, and some crystals can allegedly be used specifically for this?
Selenite and Clear Quartz are thought to be self-cleaning, and therefore the most powerful crystals for cleansing. This also means that they never need to be cleansed themselves, and we would recommend starting your crystal collection with them to help refresh your other ones. This is another favoured method, since you don’t need to rely on the weather for optimum cleansing.
To purify your crystals using Clear Quartz or Selenite, simply place them so they’re either right next to or on top of each other. As long as they’re touching in some way, this method is said to work – and you can leave your crystals for as long as you feel is necessary.
Ultimately, any crystal cleansing method you choose should be one that suits your preferences. Try a few out and see what works best for you, and make it special for yourself – it’s a ritual, after all. Set your intention with the stones, and enjoy the experience.
I’m in Grantham, if are you having problems conceiving or pregnancy difficulties, do give reiki a thought, it is fine along side medical treatments and of course you are advised to continue with any medical advice and treatments. Holistic therapies are not here to replace medical treatments, however, you can have reiki and other holistic therapies alongside. Here is a review of a customer who had reiki from myself…’Just wanted to let you know. We welcomed a baby boy into our family on 13th of December 2022…I honestly believe your reiki helped me hold onto the pregnancy. I’m not sure if Reiki can do this but I have a feeling it did. I hope you are well x’ Carrie McNeil 2022 So, do consider having reiki. I work in Lincolnshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire.

Less than 2 months to another new year. Instead of waiting for the new year to start making changes, start now and try and get things accomplished before the new year. If you want to be healthier, the time to start is today. We put things off too much sometimes and time goes by without getting things we want to do done. Are you wanting to become healthier, lose weight, get fitter, slimmer, lose weight for health, exercise more, meditate more often, heal yourself, relax more, take more time off, go out more, go on more trips, treat yourself more often to things you enjoy, there is a long list of things you might like to do for yourself, your happiness and to make yourself healthier and to reduce stress and relax more.
If your goal is to become healthier, how will you do this? What things can you do to make this happen? Lose weight? Walking is the best exercise you can do if you are able to walk easily. It is kind to your knees and is free, you can do it anywhere or you can find somewhere with a nice view to walk. Swimming is good aerobic exercise, good for your lungs. Choose some type of exercise you enjoy enjoy doing and do it more, it is easy to walk every day, swimming once or twice a week. I would love to go swimming every day but of course if you are paying each time you go, every day isn’t usually possible, unless you join a members pool where you can go as often as you want to for a fixed payment.
You can heal yourself. There are many ways to self heal. Reiki, meditation, thinking positively, eating healthily. If you would like to learn any of these things, do contact me to find out how.
A change of scenery does you good, gives you chance to rethink when you may get stuck in habits that you have outgrown or don’t benefit you anymore, if you are always in the same place, the same four walls, it can be confining mentally and emotionally if you don’t go somewhere to have a break. Changes are easier to think about when you get away from where difficulties are, so that you can reassess from afar and make a plan for when you get home of what you are going to do, what you are going to change and how you can change yourself. You may be very happy with everything where you are and every thing that is going on where you live, but even so, we all need time off work, time to do other things, time to do things we enjoy, to go places that you want to go to and do things. Everything isn’t on your doorstep, for example, if you want to go swimming in the sea and you don’t live near the sea, you will need to make a plan to go to the coast so that you can do what you feel like doing, for a day trip or for a short or long break by the sea. It is worth making the effort to do things you want to do and to make the time for these things. You are worth it.
Hi, Well I am away again, this time to Cornwall for 2 weeks, but it is a working holiday, so if anyone would like to have Reiki while I am in Cornwall or train in Reiki, do get in contact. I am a Reiki practitioner and teacher, Usui ryoho reiki.
Summertime fitness
The summer is a great time to be outside more and get fitter and healthier. Going swimming, cycling, walking. There are lots of outdoor sports to do in the summer, tennis, bowls, skipping, yes skipping, very good for you. When I think about how much skipping I used to do as a child, it must have helped me stay fit in the middle school. I need to get my skipping rope out of the cupboard and start using it again. Well, I go body boarding in the sea, there are plenty of waves to catch in Cornwall. Gorgeous beaches and we are going to hire some bikes to ride as well so that will be good exercise. It’s good to go to different beaches, some where you can go body boarding and others that are calm for swimming in and cooling down in the hot sun.
It’s 19th June today, and the sun is shining, it’s very warm outside. Yesterday I had a swim at a health spa I am a member of and that was great and a good way to cool down. Hopefully this week it will stay nice and warm so I can go in the sea. I never learnt how to surf but I can body board very well. It’s good to have some sort of exercise you can do that you enjoy. Unfortunately I don’t live very near to the sea and so it means a drive of some sort to get to any beaches. I was in Norfolk recently and went on the beach there one day and in the sea and after that, the weather changed and it was too cold to go on the beach. But now hopefully we will have good weather until the winter.
Whatever meditation you do. You can use this meditation to heal yourself at the same time. This is also one of the ways you can heal yourself with Reiki and meditation. So begin your meditation, this could be in whatever way you do it usually and at the same time, begin a connection to your own healing energy and Reiki energy, allow it to build up and just sit in this healing energy for as long as you meditate. I have been meditating for over 30 years and do believe that many methods of meditation help us to heal as well physically as well as being relaxing and reducing stress. The meditation I do also helps me to live in the moment and reduce worrying.
Usually I sit and make sure I am sitting comfortably, but when you meditate you don’t need to sit cross legged on the floor or have any particular posture, unless you want to. You can sit comfortably as you wish and close your eyes and relax. For Reiki meditation, I make an intention for the Reiki energy to flow and my own energy and sit and relax in the energy with my eyes closed and just being aware of the sound of my breath. Breathing as normal, but just hearing the sound of my breath and any noises from the environment and not thinking purposely about anything. Let any thoughts go by like clouds passing in the sky and just relax in a space of healing energy.
